Reducing The Image Noise (Noise Reduction) - Pentax KC-01 Operating Manual

Reducing the Image Noise (Noise Reduction)

When shooting with a digital camera, image noise (image roughness or
unevenness) becomes noticeable in the following situations.
- when shooting with a high sensitivity setting
- when shooting with long exposures
- when the temperature of the CMOS sensor is high
You can reduce image noise by using Noise Reduction.
Pictures cannot be taken while Noise Reduction is being processed. In
particular, if you use Slow Shutter Speed NR, it may take more time to process.
